I am TD'ing this tournament. You can register by e-mailing me in addition to the contact information in the announcement.

In regards to the open teams, I would encourage responsible team formation, but I would highly discourage (and not allow) anything close to resembling a superteam. That said, staff and team constraints may require some merging of teams within reason, so we'll see what develops. For the expected field, though, I would say there is no reason why Top 25 caliber players should be playing together (unless, of course, they are actually teammates).
